Since that time Geeksphone has not released any other device but the Geeksphone Zero is now on the horizon and pre-orders are suggested to be taking place within the next 2-weeks....

Looks like the price that briefly leaked yesterday for the British Wi-Fi Xoom was just a little too good to be true -- precisely £50 too good to be true, in fact. PC World updated its Wi-Fi Xoom pre-order page today with a price of £499.99, compared to the £449.99 that was listed for a couple of hours yesterday. The retailer says it'll begin shipping Wi-Fi Xooms to Brits during the first week of...

According to Play, which is currently taking pre-orders for the phone, it'll ship Mar. 31 for £599.99 (~$960).

We have to file this as a rumor, but we just got word from a tipster (who also provided us the image you see) that the Motorola Atrix 4G's release date is confirmed for Feb 22. We previously reported that it would be available on March 6 or earlier, and we're glad to see it turned out to be earlier this time :) Nothing price related was reported as changed, so expect to fork over $199 after...

British retailer Expansys UK is offering the LG Optimus 2X for the low price of free when paired with a Vodafone UK contract. The phone itself is listed as being available starting Mar. 21 but it would seem that eager customers can pre-order it now. The pricing on contracts starts at £30.65 for a two year plan with 300 minutes, unlimited text messages, and a paltry 500MB data allowance. For...

The Samsung Vibrant 4G, Samsung's latest upgrade from the original Samsung Vibrant is expected to launch on Feb 23, according to this leaked image. This release date may come as a bit of a shock to many, considering that the original Vibrant owners are still awaiting an update for their device to Android 2.2. Then again, we don't really know what the Vibrant 4G is, or what it's rocking, now do...

There's been some talk about the HSPA+ HTC G2 being released in September, and TmoNews has got hold of some screenshots that puts the date as September 29 for the release of the Vanguard. What does the Vanguard have to do with the G2? I'm glad you asked. If you rip open the leaked G2 ROM we saw recently (or grab it already done for you here), you will see references to the Vanguard, such as...

T-Mobile has confirmed via Twitter that the Motorola Charm will be available on August 25. We were pretty sure this was the date, as we saw a leaked T-Mobile document a few weeks back with the same date, but it's always nice to get confirmation from the carrier instead of riding the coattails of a rumor. We also have pricing: $75 after the usual contract and rebate stuff.While the Charm doesn't...

Our kingdom for a launch date for the Sprint Epic 4G, its contribution to the Samsung Galaxy S line. (See our hands-on with the Epic 4G) And while there's still nothing official, we've run across the following news in the Android Central Forums after a link was messaged to Sprint customers. And there's good news and bad news to go along with it. "Going the Distance," an epic tale of adventure a...

Look close at the bottom of the blurry shot from Verizon's system above, and you'll see the entry for the (what everybody and their mother assumes to be) Aug. 12 is marked for "Commercial launch of Droid 2". We'll pause a moment and let you catch your breath. Back with us? Good. It looks like all the speculations and rumors may be true this time, and we all will be able to get our grubby paws...

For all the naysayers who didn't think T-Mobile would really sell the Samsung Vibrant a week early, well, how do we say this nicely? We told you so!

This 4-inch screen powered by a 1GHz processor and equipped with Bluetooth 3.0 will...

We've known that the Garminfone was headed to T-Mobile "later this spring". We also knew that it would retail for $199.99. Now everything is starting to come together, according to leaked promo material, it looks like the T-Mobile Garminefone will become available on June 2nd, which conveniently enough is the same launch date for the T-Mobile myTouch 3G. Guess T-Mobile is ramping up its Android...

The myTouch 3G Slide packs a 3.4-inch screen with a physical keyboard and 5-...

There has been a alot of hype about the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and to make matters worse we even watched Sony unbox it for us. (It's cool. We've done a hands-on and have one in the office as we speak.) We've been waiting to hear when and where this bad boy would end up. No surprise, it's not coming to the U.S. first (if at ever) Instead, it's going to our neighbors to the north. Come April 15...

We've already known that the Motorola Milestone (the GSM version of the Droid) would be available to our neighbors to the north on Telus for quite some time. However, we only knew it was coming in 'early 2010' but now there are some reports floating around pegging the official date as January 26th. Considering that the Nexus One is on everybody's mind (but not yet available in Canada), we think...
